The Scoop
Musky Lotus 12 successfully captures the creamy musk and warm amber base of Musk 12, with comparable longevity and sillage. The primary distinction lies in the heart notes, where Dua substitutes Jasmine with Lotus, creating a slightly more floral and aquatic character compared to the original's deeper florality. Overall, this is a competent clone that maintains the essence of the designer fragrance while introducing its own subtle interpretation.
Key Differences
The lotus note replacement softens the floral character, making the clone slightly less dense than the original. Both fragrances share nearly identical base structures, resulting in similar performance metrics.

What wearers say
“Smells like Clean Reserve Skin, and I am sooo disappointed. I literally hate CR Skin because it smells overwhelmingly like salty chocolate candy. This Kayali dupe does too.”
“I’m about two hours into the dry down of this fragrance and I started getting a candied, Matcha, musk aroma. Then it clicked that this is reminding me of a watered down, “eau fraiche” version of Princess by Killian (which I think may actually exist, can’t confirm if they smell alike) I’m digging it!!”
